As the inventive concept allows for various changes and numerousembodiments, particular embodiments will be illustrated in the drawingsand described in detail in the written description. The effect andfeatures of the inventive concept and the method of realizing the effectand the features will be clear with reference to the exemplaryembodiments described in detail below with reference to the drawings.However, the inventive concept may be embodied in various forms andshould not be construed as being limited to the exemplary embodiments.As used herein, the term “and/or” includes any and all combinations ofone or more of the associated listed items. Expressions such as “atleast one of,” when preceding a list of elements, modify the entire listof elements and do not modify the individual elements of the list.

The exemplary embodiments of the present inventive concept will bedescribed in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Likereference numerals in the drawings denote like elements, and thus theirdescription will not be repeated.

It will be understood that when a layer, region, or component isreferred to as being “formed on” another layer, region, or component, itcan be directly or indirectly formed on the other layer, region, orcomponent. That is, for example, intervening layers, regions, orcomponents may be present. Sizes of components in the drawings may beexaggerated for convenience of explanation. In other words, since sizesand thicknesses of components in the drawings are arbitrarilyillustrated for convenience of explanation, the following embodimentsare not limited thereto.

In the following examples, the x-axis, the y-axis, and the z-axis arenot limited to three axes of the rectangular coordinate system, and maybe interpreted in a broader sense. For example, the x-axis, the y-axis,and the z-axis may be perpendicular to one another, or may representdifferent directions that are not perpendicular to one another.

FIG. 1 is a conceptual view schematically illustrating a portion of adisplay apparatus according to an exemplary embodiment. FIG. 2 is aconceptual view schematically illustrating a portion of the displayapparatus of FIG. 1. The display apparatus according to the presentexemplary embodiment includes a plurality of first data lines DL1, aplurality of second data lines DL2, a plurality of main scan lines MSL,a plurality of sub scan lines SSL, a plurality of first data line padsDLP1, a plurality of second data line pads DLP2, and a plurality of scanline pads SLP, which are disposed on a substrate Sub.

The substrate Sub may be formed by using various materials such as aglass material, a metallic material, or a plastic material. Thesubstrate Sub includes a display area DA and a first peripheral area PA1that surrounds the display area DA. In FIGS. 1 and 2, the display areaDA is circular shaped and the first peripheral area PA1 is ring shapedand surrounds the display area DA. As illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2,other than the first peripheral area PA1, the substrate Sub may includea second peripheral area PA2 that protrudes from a portion of the firstperipheral area PA1. The display area DA may include a first displayarea DA1 and a second display area DA2. For example, as shown in FIGS. 1and 2, each of the first and second display areas DA1 and DA2 may behalf-circle shaped, and respective portions of the first and seconddisplay areas DA1 and DA2 which contact each other may cross the centerof the display area DA and extend in a y-axis direction.

The first data lines DL1 may extend in the y-axis direction and bedisposed in parallel to one another across the first display area DA1.For convenience of description, in FIG. 1, eight first data lines D1 toD8 are disposed across the first display area DA1. When the display areaDA is circular shaped, the first data lines D1 to D8 may have differentlengths as shown in FIG. 1. The second data lines DL2 may also extend inthe y-axis direction and be disposed in parallel to one another acrossthe second display area DA2. As in the same manner as the first datalines D1 to D8, in FIG. 1, eight second data lines D9 to D16 aredisposed across the second display area DA2. Since the display area DAis circular shaped, the second data lines D9 to D16 may have differentlengths as shown in FIG. 1. The second data lines D9 to D16 are parallelto the first data lines D1 to D8.

Referring to FIG. 2, the main scan lines MSL are disposed in parallelacross the display area DA, and the main scan lines MSL disposed inparallel to the first data lines DL1 and the second data lines DL2. InFIG. 2, sixteen main scan lines MS1 to MS16 extend in the y-axisdirection. The main scan lines MS1 to MS16 may have different lengths,or some may have the same length (not shown). When disposing the mainscan lines MSL across the display area DA, it is sufficient if the mainscan lines MSL cross at least a portion of the display area DA, and itis not necessary for each of the main scan lines MSL to cross theentirety of the display area DA.

The main scan lines MSL may include a plurality of first main scan linesMSL1 and a plurality of second main scan lines MSL2. In this case, sameas the first data lines DL1, the first main scan lines MSL1 may bedisposed in parallel to one another across first display area DA1, andas the second data lines DL2, the second main scan lines MSL2 may bedisposed in parallel to one another across the second display area DA2.In FIG. 2, eight main scan lines MS1 to MS8 on the left side are thefirst main scan lines MSL1, and eight main scan lines MS9 to MS16 on theright side are the second main scan lines MSL2.

The main scan lines MSL do not directly contact the first data lines DL1or the second data lines DL2. In the case that the main scan lines MSLare disposed on the same plane as the first data lines DL1 and thesecond data lines DL2, they may be alternately disposed such that theydo not directly contact one another. Alternatively, if necessary, themain scan lines MSL may be disposed at a level different from that ofthe first data lines DL1 and the second data lines DL2.

The sub scan lines SSL are disposed in parallel to one another acrossthe display area DA. The sub scan lines SSL are disposed such that theyintersect the main scan lines MSL. In FIG. 2, the sub scan lines SSLextend in an x-axis direction and intersect the main scan lines MSL thatextend in the y-axis direction. The sub scan lines SSL may respectivelyelectrically connected to the main scan lines MSL. In FIG. 2, thesixteen sub scan lines SS1 to SS16 respectively electrically connectedto the sixteen main scan lines MS1 to MS16.

The sub scan lines SSL may be disposed at a level different from themain scan lines MSL. That is, an insulating layer may be disposedbetween the sub scan lines SSL and the main scan lines MSL. Also, thesub scan lines SSL may be electrically connected to the main scan linesMSL via contact holes formed in the insulating layer. In FIG. 2, the subscan lines SSL are electrically connected to the main scan lines MSL viacontact holes, which are indicated by black dots. That is, the main scanline MS1 is electrically connected to the sub scan line SS1, the mainscan line MS2 is electrically connected to the sub scan line SS2, andlikewise, the main scan line MS16 is electrically connected to the subscan line SS16.

Intersections between the first and second data lines DL1 and DL2 andthe sub scan lines SSL may define (sub) pixels. Hereinafter, a sub-pixeland a pixel are both referred to as a “pixel”. FIG. 3 is a conceptualview schematically illustrating a portion of the display apparatus ofFIG. 1, i.e., pixel areas. As shown in FIG. 3, a pixel P(3,6) is locatedat an intersection of the sub scan line SS3 and the data line D6, apixel P(3,7) is located at an intersection between the sub scan line SS3and the data line D7, and a pixel P(3,8) is located at an intersectionbetween the sub scan line SS3 and the data line D8. Likewise, a pixelP(4,6) is located at an intersection between the sub scan line SS4 andthe data line D6, a pixel P(4,7) is located at an intersection betweenthe sub scan line SS4 and the data line D7, and a pixel P(4,8) islocated at an intersection between the sub scan line SS4 and the dataline D8.

Each of the pixels P(3,6), P(3,7), P(3,8), P(4,6), P(4,7), and P(4,8)may include a thin film transistor (TFT) (not shown) or a capacitor (notshown), and a display device (not shown). The display device mayinclude, for example, an organic light-emitting device (OLED). Variousmethods may be used to control the amount of light emitted by the pixelsP(3,6), P(3,7), P(3,8), P(4,6), P(4,7), and P(4,8). For example, byapplying a scan signal to the main scan line MS3, the scan signal istransmitted to the sub scan line SS3 that is electrically connected tothe main scan line MS3, and thus, the pixels P(3,6), P(3,7), and P(3,8)connected to the sub scan line SS3 may be selected. In such state, whena data signal, which is related to a brightness of light to be emittedby the pixels P(3,6), P(3,7), and P(3,8), is applied to the data linesD6 to D8, the brightness of light emitted by the pixels P(3,6), P(3,7),and P(3,8) may be determined according to the applied data signal. Next,a scan signal may be applied to the main scan line MS4, and as the scansignal is transmitted to the sub scan line SS4 electrically connected tothe main scan line MS4, the pixels P(4,6), P(4,7), and P(4,8) connectedto the sub scan line SS4 may be selected. In such state, when a datasignal, which is related to a brightness of light to be emitted by thepixels P(4,6), P(4,7), and P(4,8), is applied to the data lines D6 toD8, the brightness of light emitted by the pixels P(4,6), P(4,7), andP(4,8) may be determined according to the applied data signal.

The first data line pads DLP1 may be located in the second peripheralarea PA2 of the substrate Sub instead of the display area DA of thesubstrate Sub so that the data signal may be applied to the first datalines DL1, as shown in FIG. 1. The first data line pads DLP1 may belocated at a side (−y direction) of the first data lines DL1 so that thefirst data line pads DLP1 may be electrically connected to the firstdata lines DL1. Likewise, the second data line pads DLP2 may be locatedin the second peripheral area PA2 of the substrate Sub instead of thedisplay area DA of the substrate Sub so that the data signal may beapplied to the second data lines DL2, as shown in FIG. 1. The seconddata line pads DLP2 may be located at a side (−y direction) of thesecond data lines DL2 so that the second data line pads DLP2 may beelectrically connected to the second data lines DL2.

The first data line pads DLP1 may refer only to elements located in thesecond peripheral area PA2 (which extend in they-axis direction), asshown in FIG. 1. In this case, the first data line pads DLP1 and thefirst data lines DL1 may be connected via connection wiring. Theconnection wiring may be located at the same level as the first dataline pads DLP1 and the first data lines DL1, or at a different levelfrom the first data line pads DLP1 and the first data lines DL1 andelectrically connected to the first data line pads DLP1 and the firstdata lines DL1 via contact holes.

The second data line pads DLP2 may also refer only to elements locatedin the second peripheral area PA2 (which extend in the y-axisdirection), as shown in FIG. 1. In this case, the second peripheral areaPA2 and the second data lines DL2 may be connected via connectionwiring. The connection wiring may be located at the same level as thesecond data line pads DLP2 and the second data lines DL2, or located ata different level from the second data line pads DLP2 and the seconddata lines DL2 and electrically connect to the second data line padsDLP2 and the second data lines DL2 via contact holes.

Similarly, the scan line pads SLP may be located at the secondperipheral area PA2 of the substrate Sub instead of the display area DAof the substrate Sub so that the scan signal may be applied to the mainscan lines MSL, as shown in FIG. 2. The scan line pads SLP may bedisposed at a side (−y direction) of the main scan lines MSL so that thescan line pads SLP may be electrically connected to the main scan linesMSL. The scan line pads SLP may be disposed between the first and seconddata line pads DLP1 and DLP2, as shown in FIG. 4 that is a conceptualview schematically illustrating a portion of the display apparatus ofFIG. 1.

The first data line pads DLP1 and the scan line pads SLP may be adjacentto each other, and the scan line pads SLP and the second data line padsDLP2 may be adjacent to each other. That is, the first data line padsDLP1, the scan line pads SLP, and the second data line pads DLP2 may bealternately disposed.

The scan line pads SLP may include a plurality of first scan line padsSLP1 and a plurality of second scan line pads SLP2. In this case, thefirst scan line pads SLP1 may be disposed between the first data linepads DLP1 and the second scan line pads SLP2, and the second scan linepads SLP2 may be disposed between the first scan line pads SLP1 and thesecond data line pads DLP2.

The scan line pads SLP may be referring to only elements located in thesecond peripheral area PA2 (which extend in the y-axis direction), asshown in FIG. 2. In this case, the scan line pads SLP and the main scanlines MSL may be connected via connection wiring. The connection wiringmay be located at the same level as the scan line pads SLP and the mainscan lines MSL, or at a different level from the scan line pads SLP andthe main scan lines MSL and electrically connected to the scan line padsSLP and the main scan lines MSL via contact holes.

A scan driver circuit SDU may be disposed between the main scan linesMSL and the scan line pads SLP. Therefore, the main scan lines MSL andthe scan line pads SLP may be electrically connected to the scan drivercircuit SDU. The scan driver circuit SDU includes, for example, a shiftregister, and may also include TFTs that are simultaneously formed whenforming TFTs that are included in pixels in the display area DA.

The scan driver circuit SDU may operate in various ways according to amethod of driving the display apparatus. For example, scan signals maybe sequentially applied to the main scan line MS1 to the main scan lineMS16 so that the scan signals may be sequentially applied to the subscan line SS1 to the sub scan line SS16. Accordingly, pixelselectrically connected to the sub scan line SS1 may be selected, pixelselectrically connected to the sub scan line SS2, sequentially, untilpixels electrically connected to the sub scan line SS16 are selected. Inthis case, the scan line pads SLP may be components to which highsignals, low signals, and/or clock signals, which are required by TFTsin the scan driver circuit SDU, are applied.

The scan driver circuit SDU may be configured in various ways. Forexample, as shown in FIG. 2, the scan driver circuit SDU may include afirst scan driver circuit SDU1 electrically connected to the first mainscan lines MSL1, and a second scan driver circuit SDU2 electricallyconnected to the second main scan lines MSL2. In this case, the firstscan line pads SLP1 may be electrically connected to the first scandriver circuit SDU1, and the second scan line pads SLP2 may beelectrically connected to the second scan driver circuit SDU2.

An integrated circuit (IC) or a printed circuit board (PCB), to whichthe IC is attached, may be attached to the first data line pads DLP1,the second data line pads DLP2, and the scan line pads SLP. Accordingly,an electric signal that passes through the IC may be input to the firstdata line pads DLP1, the second data line pads DLP2, and the scan linepads SLP, and thus, an image is displayed in the display area DA.

In the display apparatus according to the present exemplary embodimentdisplay apparatus, the scan line pads SLP may be disposed between thefirst data line pads DLP1 and the second data line pads DLP2, as shownin FIG. 4. Therefore, it is possible to prevent or reduce distortion ofdata signals during a process of transmitting the data signals to thepixels.

For example, FIG. 5 schematically illustrates a portion of a displayapparatus according to a comparative embodiment. When a plurality offirst data line pads DLP1′ and a plurality of second data line padsDLP2′ are located between a plurality of first scan line pads SLP1′ anda plurality of second scan line pads SLP2′, as indicated with dashedlines, the first scan line pads SLP1′ are disposed across the first dataline pads DLP1′ (at a different level) and electrically connected to ascan driver circuit, and the second scan line pads SLP2′ are disposedacross the second data line pads DLP2′ (at a different level) andelectrically connected to the scan driver circuit. In this case, when adata signal for controlling brightness of pixels are transmitted to aplurality of data lines via the first data line pads DLP1′ and thesecond data line pads DLP2′, the data signal may be distorted during thetransmission process, and a brightness of a pixel may be different froma first intended brightness. Also, parasitic capacitance may exit at anoverlapping portion.

In other words, the data signals that pass through the first and seconddata line pads DLP1′ and DLP2′ may be affected by high signals, lowsignals, and/or clock signals that are input to the first and secondscan line pads SLP1′ and SLP2′, cross over the first and second dataline pads DLP1′ and DLP2′, and transmitted to the scan driver circuit.As a result, an image may not be accurately displayed in a display areaDA.

However, in the display apparatus according to the present exemplaryembodiment, the scan line pads SLP may be disposed between the first andsecond data line pads DLP1 and DLP2, as shown in FIG. 4. Accordingly,the high signals, the low signals, and/or the clock signals input to thescan line pads SLP may be prevented from crossing over outer sides ofthe first and second data line pads DLP1 and DLP2 or cross only a smallarea of the outer sides of the first and second data line pads DLP1, andthen be transmitted to the scan driver circuit SDU. Therefore, the datasignals that pass through the first and second data line pads DLP1 andDLP2 may be not affected at all or only affected to a small extent bythe signals input to the scan line pads SLP, and thus an image may beaccurately displayed in the display area DA.

If the display area DA is quadrilateral shaped, the scan driver circuitSDU may not be disposed near the first data line pads DLP1 or the seconddata line pads DLP2 as shown in FIG. 2. The first data line pads DLP1 orthe second data line pads DLP2 may be disposed at an edge of the displayarea DA that is quadrilateral shaped, and a scan driver circuit may bedisposed at another edge of the display area DA. In this case, the scanline pads SLP may be disposed near the scan driver circuit so that anelectrical path between the scan line pads SLP and the scan drivercircuit does not cross over the first data line pads DLP1 or the seconddata line pads DLP2.

However, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, if the display area DA does not havea pointed portion, for example, if the display area DA circular or ovalshaped, the substrate Sub, which is related to an overall shape of thedisplay apparatus, may also be circular or oval shaped. In this case,since the scan line pads SLP have to be near the first data line padsDLP1 or the second data line pads DLP2, as described above, the scanline pads SLP may be located between the first and second data line padsDLP1 and DLP2 so that the data signals are not distorted or aredistorted by only a small extent.

As described above, according to the one or more of the above exemplaryembodiments, a display apparatus in which data signal distortion isreduced and thus is capable of accurately displaying images is provided.

It should be understood that the exemplary embodiments described hereinshould be considered in a descriptive sense only and not for purposes oflimitation. Descriptions of features or aspects within each exemplaryembodiment should typically be considered as available for other similarfeatures or aspects in other exemplary embodiments.
